My first "real job" (31, had two, fired from both) was in a small web dev shop of about 15 people. One morning I walk into the office and there was a giant wet puddle on the carpet in the middle of the open office. The roof had leaked in the office building and gone through a few floors. The air was damp and all the windows covered in condensation. Clearly a safety and health issue.

I lived about a 10min walk away, so figured I'd just work at home and announced that's what I'd be doing.

Everyone wanted to work elsewhere or from home. However the boss decided that he'd cram everyone into the boardroom for the day.

I was the only one who stood my ground and told the boss I was going home despite his bullshit about not being a "team player". Wage slavery is a dangerous mindset.
